5A resale flat with a budget (without ID)

Recommended Posts

After 12years, we decided to sell our current home and bought a 5A resale flat. After viewing for at least 5houses, we’ve settled for this house which is nearer to MRT but condition was seriously horrible. (By the way, we are diy buyer doing contra)

Long story short, after receiving about 10quotations, we knew we had to go for a contractor, it can save us 10-20k! 

Theme: “my style” — I see, I like, I buy

My second home should be something simple. I have always wanted the white look (for current house) but with 2babies of couse it’s impossible. So now that they’re in primary schooler, I will try to archieve that look.

Ok, I’ll try.... but er, definitely no white kitchen as I cook everyday.

All ID exceeded our budget. 

3contractors shortlisted. Arranged for meet up at my house.

Why I picked contractors over IDs? 

Significant savings. All 3contractors quoted me about the same price.

 

...After adding in items last minute (boxing up pipes/ walls, etc), D941AAD2-FD45-4228-9C39-0B266A26C8F3.jpeg.bb04cd883302c4aedbe4d39ae705df21.jpeg183EDA0A-7B26-470D-B5CB-4A8133D72006.jpeg.1546ef7cbf5bd418e1030a0ab8a00836.jpegI raised my budget up alittle bit...

.. And alot of touching up as this house was covered with wallpapers. Never buy a house with wallpapers, you might never know what they’re hiding behind it. Holes! Cracks!
